My theory is that kids at heart really never grow up. My theory is only confirmed by all of the things one can do in an office to entertain themselves. For example...
There are these things called "rubber fingers" and they are basically thimbles so that it is easier to page through lots of papers. Well, if you use that as a rock, and a rubberband as a slingshot, those suckers FLY!
Post-it notes are great fun too! You can leave them anywhere and write anything on them. Think about covering a bathroom mirror, a desk, a chair, computer monitor, phone receiver, or anything with post-it notes as a practical joke.
Inter-office mail. Now, you can have a lot of fun with this one. Take someones computer mouse or stapler or something and interoffice mail it to them. It'll take a couple of days and they'll never know who sent it...unless the jokster can't help but laugh hysterically when they see their co-worker's face.
The coffee room. PERFECT playground. Besides all the cool stuff you can do with food in there, think about the potential for tricks. Poking holes in the bottom of Styrofoam cups. Putting dish soap in the bottom of a coffeemaker.
The parking lot. Oh, yea. Another pretty awesome playground. You can get a game of soccer, whiffle ball, or tape ball (made from the office tape of course) going during lunch or "smoke" breaks. You can also get some good car tricks in here. Saran wrap, pudding, gooey stuff...toilet paper!
Oh, and there are other ways to get by at work. My friend told me a story about what her friend does to nap. Close the office door and lay down on the floor with like one body part touching the door. Spread paper clips all over the floor. Then, when the door opens, she felt it with her arm and was quick like "shit, I dropped all these paper clips".
Oh the things that can be done at work...
fun fact about rubber fingers: if you turn them inside out, they look like penises.
ReplyDeleteand i'm telling you, the paper clip thing works!!!
